Specifies a dialog element's tool tip text, which is automatically displayed in a small pop-up window when the mouse pointer hovers over the dialog element. For menu items and signals, the tool tip text is not displayed directly, but is "inherited" by any tool bar items referencing this menu item via their SAME-AS attribute. Otherwise, the specified tool tip text is only displayed if it is not an empty string and if the corresponding HAS-TOOLTIP attribute is set to TRUE, as follows. Item tooltips (e.g., for status bar panes, tab control tabs, tool bar items, etc.) are only displayed if the HAS-TOOLTIP attribute of the parent control is set to TRUE. Control or dialog tooltips (e.g., for status bar controls, tab controls, tool bar controls, etc.) are only displayed if the HAS-TOOLTIP attribute of the dialog is set to TRUE.
